Nice work! But gotta ask, what'cha shootin' with?
Well, if memory serves....

I still use a Fuji 16 MP camera, either an XE-1 or XT-1 right now. Fort Pulaski was shot with their 14/2.8, while the shots of Charm and Big Bend were made with the 16-55/2.8, which is the sharpest zoom I've ever used, hands down. The fall colors reflection shot was made years ago on Fuji Velvia using either an Olympus OM-4 and 180/2.8 lens or a Contax G2 with the 90/2.8 - can't remember which one gave me that crop.

Thanks for the interest. These days all I travel with is the XT-1, the 16-55 and the 55-22 Fuji XF lenses.
 
Picked Nova up this past Saturday, June 24, in Newark Valley, NY. I lost my 12 1/2 year old Brittany, Avon, on June 14, 2023, totally unexpected. Rapid failure due to a tumor on her liver.

Nova's mother's father and Avon are half siblings. On my lap sleeping on the ride home. My wife was driving.

It's been a pretty good year for flowers out this way: it's rare that we still have active blooms in July, but both the mountains and the coast are active.
